I don't understand how anyone can claim one network is better than another. For instance T-Mobile signal at home has got better but still isn't great, drive to work downtown and great signal. Or at home (San Pedro) the AT&T signal is almost nill, I'm sure other parts of Calif. AT&T has great signal. Network strength is going to vary drastically from state to state, city to city, neighborhood to neighborhood.

I agree, and living in a "small town," the network strength isn't anywhere near as good as it would be living in a city...except with Verizon. I've had basically all the big carriers over the years, and Verizon is the only one that consistently works--always and everywhere (I travel a lot for work, and often to very remote locations). That's why I keep paying them the big money instead of moving.
Found out recently another reason why my bill's so high...they're a damn good employer. The son of a very good friend of mine recently started working at Verizon as a salesman. From day one, he has full medical/dental; tuition 100% paid for, no matter what degree program; matching 401k fully vested; and huge growth potential. Starting salary somewhere in the 30's, plus commission. In his store (small town where I live), the lowest paid sales associate made $75k last year.
